Our sustained efforts to enhance the business climate of Mauritius and our effective investor-friendly platform have resulted in the very positive ranking of Mauritius to the 19th position in the World Bank Doing Business Report 2013. For the fifth consecutive year, our position as the premier country to do business in the Sub-Saharan African region is confirmed.

In line with the vision of the Government to further diversify our economy, the Board of Investment is promoting the development of an 'ocean industry' as a new economic pillar which presents enormous opportunities to our investors.

The Board of Investment, in collaboration with the United Nations Conference on Trade (UNCTAD), launched the World Investment Report (WIR) earlier this month. The report confirms the positioning of Mauritius as a gateway for international investments in the region.

For the first time in its history the Board of Investment is faced with challenges surrounding an alleged scam regarding the issuance of residence permits to retired non-citizens. Our engagement in this matter is to fully support, and collaborate with, the authorities.
